Idol worship and Us

The idols we worship:

The only difference between our idols and the Greek or Hindu idols is that our s are still living so we haven’t actually carved stone statues out of them.

We love to give pedestals to mortals, raise them above ourselves. Admire them. Copy them. Please them and when they get tired and try getting off the pedestal ( inevitable as it is being mortal),

We hold them to it. Strapped in tightly. Then we give them electric shocks to revive them to come up to our dreamt up glory for them.

Idols are the desires which we let loose on society after breeding them long and silently in our diseased, tattered souls. The hidden Gods we hold so dear.

The height of human folly is not in bowing to a stone statue, that is merely a consequence.

Our greatest folly is in surrendering to our own will!

We are but just a dot in a huge design.

A dot trying to be the design.

Not attempting to understand the will of the creator.

It’s about His will, not ours!

ON RESPONSIBILITY!

The seemingly inconsequential fly buzzed around incessantly from one nose to another. Some were totally oblivious to its existence, Some bore its buzzing with a somewhat irritated expression while others shooed it away with a wave of their hand. Eventually,  it dived into a teacup. All hell broke loose. “Who let the fly in?”, “What a mess”, “Such a crappy building”, “Who left the window open?” “Who opened the window?”, “Why can’t you put a lid on your cup?”, “Why don’t we have fly screens for these doors and windows?”, “Why don’t we have a fly repellent?” A guy sitting on the far end folded his magazine and squatted the fly as soon as it landed on his desktop. That was ‘The End’ for the fly. (inspired from a real-life scene) We can roughly categorise the two kinds of behaviours/personalities described in the scenario above as ‘reactive’ and ‘proactive’. Out of these two our people fall into the ‘reactive’ category. A nation of reactive individuals who are not willing to...

The truth unveiled!

VALENTINE’S DAY The truth unveiled 'Every deen has an innate character. The character of Islam is modesty.' Al Muwatta 47.9 HOW IT STARTED: Like most Christian festivals, the origin of Valentine’s Day also lies in the pagan Rome. In ancient Rome young men and women used to celebrate this festival where the women would write love letters and throw them in a huge pot. Then the men would choose their partners through lottery and would court (relationship before marriage) the girl whose letter came in their hands. (Webster’s family encyclopedia). According to the encyclopedia this festival has no direct or indirect link to the life of Saint Valentine (269 A.D). To make Christianity more popular and acceptable among the pagan masses, the Christian clergy added this festival to Christianity by celebrating this day as Saint Valentine’s Day. The myths regarding Saint Valentine giving his life for the sake of love and others are all false. WHERE DO WE ST...
